An average entry into the conjuring universe
So yet another entry into the conjuring universe and probably the poorest one so far.A rushed introduction into how the evil spirit La Llorona became could have done with a bit more background story.
Then we follow a family who gradually come into contact with this spirit and how they enlist the help of an ex priest to help them fight it.They could have done with not showing LL so much as she gradually becomes less frightening after each attack on the family.
Worth checking out if your a fan of the conjuring universe.

Another decent entry to the Conjuring films if maybe not quite hitting the highs of the first two films. It's still at a high level and you know what to expect from them now. Some nice cinematography, creepy scenes and a few jumps without relying on them.
The exorcism scenes are very good and fascinating that these films are based on real characters. Another solid entry in the Conjuring universe.

Im not sure why we got a full movie about the nun from the conjuring 2, but we did and it was bad. Lets get Vera Farmiga's sister to star in it. I really didnt pay attention to the film. At one point, one of the main charcters was bured under the ground. Also the nuns weakness is holy water. Also it sets up a sequel that we dont need. This film is a lazy attempt to connect the conjuring films.

I love the Conjuring series. I find it fascinating. I'm a little obsessed with Ed and Lorraine Warren so I watch anything to do with the universe. After the second Conjuring film, this is my favourite. It takes a lot for a horror to scare me and though it wasn't terrifying it made me jump a lot! That feeling like you're on a rollercoaster dipping down! I love it!!!!
It's set after the Conjuring (or inbetween depending on your source) after the Warren's have the doll secured in their occult museum. Mary Ellen is babysitting Judy, the Warren's daughter (who we learnt in the Conjuring shares her mothers gift) and her friend Danielle, distraught from the death of her father, pays a visit. The events after are pretty much all her fault. I kind of hate her for it despite understanding her reasoning. While the other films focus mainly on the demon Valek or the Annabelle doll demon (with the exception of the many spirits in the first conjuring) this film has a lot of the other never before mentioned spirits that the real Ed and Lorraine have written about. The White Lady, the Samurai, the Black Shuck. I was actually concerned for how they would portray the Werewolf after such disasters as teen wold or an American Werewolf in London but was happily suprised that they made it work quite well. Of course there is a semi happy ending and all is well, Judy gets her birthday and some friends and Danielle has closure but I'm very much looking forward to the third Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. Released this year hopefully!!!!!
